THIS IS MANIX PRESENTING..... EVOLUION MENU 5 YET ANOTHER TOP QUALITY EVOLUTION DISK ROLLS OFF THE PRODUCTION LINE AND INTO THE DISK DRIVES OF ATARI OWNERS WORLDWIDE. IMPORTANT NEWS.... EVOLUTION ARE STILL A MEMBER OF THE COLLABORATION SO DONT BELIEVE ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. A NOTICE NOW ABOUT F.A.S.T ALTHOUGH CHRISTMAS IS ONLY AROUND THE CORNER, I REGRET TO HAVE TO INFORM YOU THAT F.A.S.T HAVE NOT GIVEN UP. I HAVE JUST BEEN ON THE PHONE TO 'MANI' OF NORTHSIDE (HIYA GUYS) WHO TOLD ME THAT ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GROUP WHO WILL REMAIN NAMELESS FOR HIS OWN PROTECTION (OOO - ERR) HAD SEEN AN ADVERT IN MICRO MART ADVERTISING FOR ATARI CONTACTS. AS THE PERSON WHO WROTE THE AD HAD GREETED A PILE OF MENU CREWS, THE NORTHSIDE MEMBER THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE NO HARM IN RINGING THE TELEPHONE NUMBER GIVEN. HE HAD QUITE A NICE AND INFORMATIVE CHAT WITH THE BLOKE BUT AFTER AROUND 30 MINUITS THE BLOKE WHO WROTE THE AD SAID 'DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE TALKING TO A MEMBER OF F.A.S.T.??' THE NORTHSIDE MEMBERS NATUREL REACTION WAS TO SHOUT SOME FOUL WORDS AND SLAM THE PHONE DOWN. BUT WHAT WE REALISED AFTERWARDS IS THAT THIRTY MINUITS IS PLENTY OF TIME TO TRACE A PHONE CALL AND SO THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WILL NOT BE AMAZINGLY HAPPY ONES FOR HIM. IT JUST SHOWS THAT F.A.S.T ARE NOT QUITE AS DUMB AS WE THINK. OF COURSE THERE IS A WAY TO DEMOLISH F.A.S.T..... PICK UP THE PHONE DIRECTORY.... CHOOSE AN ADDRESS AT RANDOM..... PICK UP THE PHONE AND DIAL F.A.S.T.'S HOTLINE..... AND LEAVE THE ADDRESS YOU PICKED OUT. IF ENOUGH PEOPLE DO THIS THEN F.A.S.T. WILL GET SO PISSED OF THAT THEY WONT BOTHER ANYMORE. IN THE MEANTIME MY ADVICE TO YOU IS NOT TO REPLY TO ADVERTS IN MICRO MART UNLESS YOU ARE SURE THAT THEY ARE GENUINE. IF ANYONE FROM F.A.S.T. IS READING THIS SCROLL TEXT THEN I HOPE THAT YOU DIE FROM A PAINFUL ILLNESS SUCH AS CANCER OR A.I.D.S. I KNOW THAT PIRACY MAY HAVE GOT OUT OF HAND BUT IT IS THE FAULT OF THE SOFTWARE HOUSES INVOLVED FOR CHARGING SUCH HIGH PRICES IN THE BEGINNING. I THINK IT IS NOW TIME TO CHANGE SUBJECT..... HAVING READ THE SCROLL TEXT ON INSANITY MENU 5, TO SAT THAT IM PISSED OFF WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT. JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE???? I DONT MIND SLAGS THAT ARE JUSTIFIED BUT IM AFRAID THAT YOURS WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF ORDER. EVOLUTION AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COLLABORATION ALL AGREE THAT WHAT YOU SAID WAS COMPLETE BOLLOCKS! IF YOU'RE SO PISSED OFF THEN WHY NOT LEAVE... YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED... YOU ARE COMPLETE WANK KIDS!!! I HAVE NOT SEEN A DEACENT MENU FROM YOU YET. NOW ONTO THE SUBJECT OF EVOLUTION MEMBERS.... THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON THE ST SCENE WHO HATE MR.X ALTHOUGH THEY DO NOT KNOW IT BECAUSE HE USED TO USE A DIFFERENT NAME. I HAVE GREAT PLEASURE IN ANNOUNCING THAT WE HAVE THROWN MR.X OUT OF THE GROUP. HURAHHH HURAHHH HURAHHH AND WE WILL BE THROWING A PARTY TO CELEBRATE THIS FACT. THE EVOLUTION MEMBERS LIST IS NOW.... THE MONSTER BEETLE MANIX GANGE AND DIZ-E (OUR NEW MEMBER) FUCK OFF MR X FUCK OFF MR X FUCK OFF MR X FUCK OFF MR X FUCK OFF MR X FUCK OFF MR X FUCK OFF.... OH SORRY, I DONT KNOW WHAT CAME OVER ME!!! ON THE SUBJECT OF MEMBERS, THE COLLABORATION NOW CONSISTS OF...... EVOLUTION NORTHSIDE THE WILD! BOYS CRIME INSANITY THE BLUES BROTHERS AND LOWLIFE. PLEASE LET ME MAKE IT UNDERSTOOD THAT THUNDERFORCE ARE NOT MEMBERS OF THE COLLABORATION, NOR ARE EPIC SO DONT BELIEVE ANY BULLSHITTING TURDS WHO TELL YOU OTHER WISE. MY APOLOGIES GO TO THE PEOPLE WHO PUT THE CHRISTMAS TREE UP IN THE SQUARE OF OUR LOCAL TOWN (SORRY F.A.S.T BUT I AINT THICK) BUT WHEN I SAW ALL THOSE BRIGHTLY LIT BULBS IM AFRAID THAT ME AND THE POSSEE COULD NOT RESIST TAKING THEM. YOU MUST ADMIT, IT LOOKS BLOODY STUPID WITH NO LIGHTS ON THE BOTTOM THIRD OF IT!!! OH YES, IF YOU WANT THEM BACK THEY ARE IN THE SECOND NEAREST BIN TO THE SAFEWAYS EXIT. MESSAGE TO MANI OF NORTHSIDE.... THANKS FOR EXPRESSING YOUR POINTS ON MENU NINE PART B. THEY WERE READ, LAUGHED AT AND THEN TRASHED (ITS NOT JUST YOUR FILES THAT ARE SHORTER THAN OURS, YOUR DICK IS AS WELL!!!) MESSAGE TO CARL B..... I HOPE THAT OUR THROWING MR.X OUT WILL NOT HAVE A BAD AFFECT ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR GROUP. WE WERE JUST SICK OF THE SLIMY BASTARD SO WE HAD TO GET RID OF HIM. I HOPE WE HEAR FROM YOU SOON CARL. NOW ITS TIME FOR WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR..... LOCK ALL THE DOORS AND WINDOWS AND PUT ON YOUR DARKEST SUNGLASSES AS THE MONSTER BEETLE IS ON YOUR DOORSTEP............ HI THIS IS MONSTER BEETLE WRITTING IS BIT TOWARDS EVOLUTION MENU 5 YES MANIX AND I PLANNED THIS TO BE A VERY LONG SCROLLER... JUST TO SUM UP A FEW OF THE POINTS MENTIONED. REMEMBER NOT TO RING THAT FUCKING PHONE NUMBER IN MICRO MART. YOU HAVE TO ADMIRE THE GUY THOUGH IT WAS A PREETY GOOD TRICK NO ONE CAN DENIY THAT. APPARENTLY HE WAS UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE MENU INFO SO I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD BE A LITTEL BIT MORE CAREFUL NOW THAT SOMEONE HAS COME CLOSE TO BEING SPRUNG. HMM WHAT SHALL WE TALK ABOUT I KNOW CHRISTMAS YEA GREAT TOPIC THAT ONE. IF YOU ARE THINKING OFF GETTING A CONSOLE THIS YEAR WITH ALL YOUR MONEY THAT YOUR AUNTS GRANS AND UNCLES SHOULD BE HERLING AT YOU THIS CHRISTMASS YOU MAY BE FIND YOUR SELF IN A SITUATION LIKE MINE WHICH ONE SHOULD I GET???? I THINK IT ALMOST CERTAIN THAT I WILL BUY A LYNX 2 EVEN THOUGH MANIX INSISTS THAT THE GAME GEAR IS THE BETTER MODEL (WELL HE DOES HAVE ONE SO HE WOULD SAY THAT). THE FAMICOM IS PROBABLY THE BEST MACHINE (IN MY OPINION) FOR GRAPHIX SOUND SPEED AND SCROLLING ETC. BUT THEY ARE TERRIBLY OVERPRICED. ON THE SUBJECT OFF OVER PRICING IT IS A FACT THAT OUR LOCAL COMPUTER SHOP GETS THE ATARI STFM FOR 169 QUID AND SELLS IT FOR AROUND 340 QUID. WELL YOU CAN'T BLAME THEM FOR WANTING TO MAKE MONEY BUT HOW ABOUT LOWERING IT DOWN TO 279 OR SOMETHING... NOW IT IS TIME FOR THE 1991 STUPID AWARDS AND THE AWARD THIS YEAR GOES TO ATARI WHY??? WELL IF YOU GET ST FORMAT THAN YOU WILL KNOW THAT IN THE OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER ISSIUE THERE WAS ON ATARI CLAIMING THE WRITES TO CERTAIN PD GAMES DEMANDING THAT THEY SOULD NOT BE DISTRIBUTED IN PD SET UPS. ONE TITLE NINE LIVES WAS CLAIMED TO BE OWNED BY ATARI. SO THEY WHAM IT IN THERE NEW SOFTWARE PACK AND SHORTLY AFTERWARDS THEY RELEASE IN THE SHOPS AT 15.99. 9 LIVES HAD ALREADY BEEN ON AN -ST ACTION COVER DISK- NOT TO MENTION THE FACT IT HAS BEEN WIDLY DISTRIBUTED BY PD. SO HOW ON EARTH DO THEY EXPECT TO MAKE MONEY BY SELLING IT IN THE STORES. 4 QUID FAIR ENOUGH BUT 16 QUID AFTER IT'S BEEN IN PD AND ON A MAGAZINE COVER DISK. WHY ON EARTH THEY WANT THE GAME I DONT KNOW IT IS NOT THAT AMAZING. THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WISER IN RELEASING A FULL PRICED GAME ALONG WITH THE COMPUTER. SO ATARI ON BEHALF OF THE REST OF EVOLUTION WE PRESENT YOU THE 1991 STUPID AWARD. ATARI SHOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN HANDED THE 1989 STUPID AWARD FOR THE STE COCK UP BUT WE WERN'T AROUND THEN HMMMMM WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO TALK ABOUT... TELEVISION ARE YOU ALL WATCHING THE NEW SERIES OF SPITTING IMAGE. IT IS VERY FUNNY THIS TIME AND I HOPE THE KEEP THIS WAY AS LAST YEARS SPITTING IMAGE WAS TOTALY CRAP IN PARTS. IT IS GOOD TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE ST SCENE FOR A LITTEL WHILE OCCASIONALY BUT WE NOW RETURN AS I AM NOW GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT OUR CHRISTMASS MENU. I AND MANIX ARE NOT YET SURE ON WEATHER IT WILL BE PART OF THE EVOLUTION NUMBERD COLLECTION OR WEATHER IT WILL BE SEPERATE AND SIMPLY CALLED THE EVOLUTION CHRISTMASS MENU. I WAS ORIGINALY HOPEING IT WOULD BE OUR MENU 10 AS WE DID OUR FIRST 3 MENUS IN JUST OVER 3 WEEKS BUT THEN IT TOOK US 4 WEEKS TO DO 2 MENUS AND WITH THE DATE BEING THE 7TH OF DECEMBER WE DONT HAVE MUCH TIME TO DO 5 MENUS. SO THE CHRISTMASS MENU WILL HAVE TO BE CD 6 AND THAT WILL PROBABLY BE THE LAST EVOLUTION MENU OF THE YEAR. WE WILL TRY AND RELEASE OUR CHRISTMASS MENU AS SOON TO CHRISTMASS AS POSSIBLE BUT WHAT WITH THE POST SITUATION OVER CHRISTMASS WE WILL HAVE TO LAUNCH IT ROUND ABOUT THE 15TH TO 20TH OF THE MONTH. WELL I THINK I HAVE WRITTEN ENOUGH WE DID HOPE THIS SCROLLER TO BE LIKE ONE OF THOSE 3 HOUR SCROLLERS THAT THE POMPEYS HAVE A HABIT OF DOING. BUT THERE JUST ISN'T ANYTHING TO TALK ABOUT SO EVOLUTION ARE ABOUT TO SIGN OFF BUT BEFORE WE WRAP HERES YOUR CHANCE TO HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT THE SPECTRUM ANALYSER THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TRYING TO PEEK AT THROUGHOUT THIS SCROLL TEXT QUICK MESSAGE TO MANI I ADMIT YOU BEAT ME AT THE CLUNK PACK - NICE MENUS KEEP UM UP.
